Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk food recommendations?

It's summertime and that means 1907 days ($1.00 rides on Mon and Tues) at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. We're heading over there tomorrow to ride the Giant Dipper until our backsides ache, throw brass rings from the carousel, enjoy sunset from the rickety Ferris Wheel, and indulge in some of our favorite culinary guilty pleasures. I'm generally not a huge fan of boardwalk food and usually stick to the Cajun Corndog, freshly fried of course. (I do have my standards, such as they are.) One of the group insists we go to Marini's for dessert, i.e. chocolate-covered bacon. I'm probably not a deep-fried Twinkie or cheesecake kind of person, some of the boardwalk food is a little scary, but I don't want to miss out on any hidden gems either. Anybody have any boardwalk favorites we should try?

Chef Theo Friedman meets with one of North Brooklyn Farms' farmers to discuss the chef−produce purveyor relationship, in addition to the importance of seasonality and flavor when developing the menus for his transformative culinary events. In preparation for his Stella Artois dinner party, Chef Theo then visits Union Square Greenmarket to pick out fresh, local ingredients for his end-of-summer celebration.

Chef Theo Friedman's dinners center around multi-course, intimate, and experimental pop-up experiences. He brings new perspectives to food by being inspired by artists, ingredients, and the passionate diners who attend his one-of-a-kind events. In honor of Chef Theo's partnership with Stella Artois, he takes advantage of Union Square Greenmarket's and North Brooklyn Farms' fresh produce to create the ultimate end of summer menu.
